Hamid Karzai proposes replacement of two cabinet ministers - ‎Guardian

Parwin Durani, a parliament member who represents the Afghan nomadic community, said about a third of the politicians at the meeting were unhappy that Karzai did not bring in more fresh faces. Some of the nominees were suggested by powerful individuals who helped to re-elect him, she said, expressing disappointment in the list.

"It is like a factory … Nothing has changed," Joyanda said. "Nothing is new. Half of the cabinet remains. The other half is introduced by warlords." It is this that is the biggest source of concern, with powerful warlords with poor records on human rights such as Abdul Rashid Dostum and Abdul Rasul Sayyaf expected to nominate allies to sit for them in the cabinet. - Hamid Karzai proposes replacement of two cabinet ministers
